Ask HN: How do you sell out?

1 pointsby throwawaaaaay17almost 3 years ago
I've worked for startups my entire career, had some nice exits, but nothing life changing. Now looking to get a high-paying job in finance or big tech or something. I can do ML/AI/Anything with data/SWE. Any advice? Has anyone gone through the process?

You sell out by selling your soul to the devil. Many Hollywood actors trade their soul for a slice of fame and prestige. What does this mean, in a scientific sense? It means you're not really 'you' anymore and have become a slave to a system that has high rewards, but little authenticity.
